You can use a caulk removal tool to get rid of the excess caulking, then use a plastic razor blade and scrubbing pad for cleaning.
It’s surprising to see someone post on without demonstrating any critical thinking skills.
Why not try to offer helpful advice without sounding insulting?
Most of the caulking should come off easily. If you plan on re-caulking, it doesn’t have to be perfectly clean. But if you need it spotless, you can use a wire brush, mineral spirits, a 2″ scraper, and some elbow grease.
Is the joint or the dirt in the middle of the paver? To clean the spot, you can use lacquer thinner along with a brass scrub brush.

Make sure to have an old 20-inch knife or a piece of sheet metal between the scraper blade and the paver when using ‘ oscillating tool with a full blade to avoid scratching the surface.
Hmm, I wonder why there is caulking next to the pavers. To remove it, you can use an “OLFA H-1” knife and lubricate it with dish soap for smoother cutting. Alternatively, apply 75 pounds of pressure on the blade.
